Before coronavirus outbreak, Salman Khan preponed Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali to make time for Tiger 3?

Before the coronavirus crisis, Salman Khan had reportedly asked Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali producer Sajid Nadiadwala to prepone the film’s shoot from October to August end so that he could make time for Tiger 3.

Owing to the coronavirus outbreak in the country, all the operations in the Hindi film industry came to a grinding halt. Salman Khan, who was busy shooting for his Eid 2020 release, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, was forced to pack up too. About 8 to 10 days of the film’s shoot is left, which the superstar plans to complete once the industry returns to normalcy. However, the timeline of his next three releases after Radhe is already decided, a recent report by an entertainment portal says.

According to a Bollywood Hungama report, Salman will begin filming his next gangster drama soon after finishing Radhe. The film will see him playing a Sikh cop, whereas his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma will be in the role of a North Indian gangster. Quoting a source, the report says that it will be more of an extended cameo for him, the shooting of which he will complete in 25-30 days.

On the other hand, Salman’s Eid 2021 release, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, was supposed to go on floors in October this year. However, before the coronavirus outbreak, Salman had a meeting with producer Sajid Nadidwala, wherein he had asked the latter to prepone the film to August end or early September, the report says. A source mentioned in the report says that Sajid had agreed to Salman’s request.

But why did the superstar get the film preponed? The report claims that Salman has also signed up for the third installment of the Tiger series with Yash Raj Films, for which he will start shooting right after completing Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. Aditya Chopra, the head honcho of YRF, wants to take the film on floors by January end or early February. The team is currently hunting for a director for the high-budget film.

However, it must be noted that all these plans were made before the coronavirus outbreak and if the situation does not get better anytime soon, everything can go for a toss.
